How to care for Sisyrinchium E.K. Balls:
Lift and divide large colonies in spring. After flowering dead-head the faded blooms to prevent the plant from self-seeding.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
